My Seven Favorite Meyer Lemon Recipes
One of my favorite times of year is when the Meyer Lemons start coming into season and I've begun to see them in my area supermarkets again so that means its time to getting cooking with Meyer Lemons! Meyer Lemons made their first appearance in the United States in 1908 when Frank Meyer introduced this … [Read more...]

Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend Eat, Write, Retreat in Philadelphia. But the question would have to be, why would I not go given the opportunity, especially since it was just a 10 minute drive from home. It was glorious affair and you couldn't have asked for two better hosts than Casey Benedict and Robin Webb.

With the dog days of summer still weeks away, all we can do is try to stay as cool as possible, and out of the direct sunlight! I' have to wonder how this … [Read more...]

The year that I thought would never end is just about over......sigh Mr. Murphy pulled out all the stops this year, and threw everything at us but the kitchen sink! You know that saying what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, well it might be true but what they don't tell is you need time afterwards to recuperate!
But with just another week to … [Read more...]

Sometimes memories come back to you for no reason at all, this morning as I sat having my coffee, I had flashback to a time so many years ago at Mama Jeanette's table. It was so very long ago, but it seems like it was just yesterday. It's funny how something that happened yesterday can escape your memory, while something that happened 40 years … [Read more...]

We're starting to slide back into crazy mode at work, as we near the end of the school year! The beginning and end of each year are the times when we do the most catering as the school show cases the upcoming year or as in this case closes out another successful year.
